@christianhuang@Scott_Wiener@SFGiants Do you also think that Jewish or Hispanic heritage nights or Armed Forces nights are “pushing ideologies”? The players in question have never felt the need to wear bible verses before. It begs the question: Why now on Pride night? Just don’t wear the hat if you’re against it.
@christianhuang@Scott_Wiener@SFGiants Reductive argument. It’s not just that they can’t wear bible verses (MLB prohibits this anyway), they CHOSE to do it on Pride Night specifically. They could have not worn the Pride hat. They took it as an opportunity to push their religious ideologies on people. ��
@bqusdfkhri@ringthemoon The end goal is always to foster inclusivity and compassion in sports. If even one kid who plays a sport and might be questioning their identity and doesn’t feel like they belong can feel included, then I think the Pride Nights have done their job.
Actor Bobby Cannavale on Heated Rivalry and Connor Storrie in a The New York Times article:
“It’s something I would never think to put on, but I just had too many actor friends tell me, ‘You’ve got to see this Connor Storrie kid, he’s amazing.’ It’s not often you get to see a sports genre show that involves L.G.B.T.Q.-positive characters.”
